I'm currently in the midst of cleaning up my "new" CMP Springfield M1903 and when I got to this it didn't look right. Is my ejector cracked (little 'v' on top, right of the retaining pin hole)? If so - 1) is this a common problem? and 2) anybody know where I can get a replacement?
BTW - rifle was built in 1932, and still has the original (I assume) barrel, dated 8 - 31. Rifling looks good, finish on both the metal and the wood is excellent. Information gleaned from other boards indicate she is a Greek re-import (last 4 digits of S/N etched into top of bolt handle, 'B' stamped on magazine floorplate to indicate the floorplate is pinned in place, and (sure enough) a brass pin holding floorplate on). No import marks or stamps.
Really looking forward to shooting the grand old girl...
